TextBox Buffer Size

I have a serial terminal program that appends all data recieved on the serial port to a textbox and I was wondering how much data does a textbox hold.  The terminal is part of a  automated test program that will run over long peroids of time and Im concerned that the terminal application will consume large amounts of system memory storing all this data.

The ideal case would be that the termimal stores the last 1000 lines and the oldest gets removed to make room for newer data.

Thanks

 If you look at the entry for Extra Lines under the Text Box Options button in the text box panel, you can set the number of lines that are "off the screen" for the text box.
